An reader alerted me to the fact that something rather odd has occurred.

It seems to me that the Introit chant/text is actually part of Mass. … Continue reading

Card. Burke on “mutual enrichment”. Fr. Z rants.
When Benedict XVI promulgated his “emancipation proclamation” for the older form of the Roman Rite, his Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, he wrote about a “mutual enrichment” between the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms which could take place. For that to happen, … Continue reading
Interview with SSPX Bp. Fellay is worth your time
Our friends at Rorate have posted something from DICI, an interview with SSPX Superior Bp. Bernard Fellay. In this interview Fellay speaks about the “doctrinal preamble” given to the SSPX by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
